Finally cool enough for jeans today - first day I’ve had to myself in weeks and I had a fun day shopping . Still not finished - my list is long Anyways , these cream wide leg jeans had yet to be worn this season after purchasing in late May . They are SO comfy , but once again I feel less than slim in them , and I’m not sure what to make of it . There is a bit of stretch in the denim , just enough that I’m sure ( after having them on all day ) that I could have sized down to reduce bulk in the fly area . Why does this always happen to me ???

First outfit for shopping was the jeans and the rusty linen blend sweater in the car photo , fun acrylic earrings and puffy sandals that matched the sweater . By the time I got home I had snagged the sweater on my purse in two places and it felt too structureless and unflattering . Only it’s second wear and I hate it already .

Second outfit for a quick drink at a friend’s place : same jeans with this fun new statement blouse from Anthro ( my wildcard of the season ) which isn’t necessarily traditionally flattering but the pattern and colours struck all the right notes for me . I plan on wearing it with dark jeans in another couple of weeks to take it into fall . I love it don’t care how it looks - lol.

I loved the idea of this outfit and felt good in it , but the pictures tell a diff story . Me and wide leg jeans are not a match made in heaven I think part of the problem is no one , and I mean no one I know wears these . The 3 other women with me tonight were all in very slim jeans .
